Enhance your log cabins or country homes by picking furniture that matches your interiors. Put together furnishings that suit your taste and makes your home glow. Rustic log beds, rustic sofas, wicker chairs, and awning kits are some log cabin furniture that significantly contribute to the comfy atmosphere of a log cabin.
Do you ever feel like your cozy log cabin isn’t cozy enough? Does it feel like it’s bereft of warmth? Does it feel less homey than it should? Could you use a little more fire to give your country home the truly warm and inviting atmosphere you so desire?
Having a safe haven means more than having full use of a log cabin up in the Rocky Mountains or in the nooks and crooks of Colorado’s mountains. Although tucked away in the mountains amidst thick bushes, your special home need not be just ordinary. Log cabins, normally sporting a rough look, don’t have to be artless. Neither do country homes, usually archaic-looking, need to be shabby. Log cabins and country homes are ideal respites, a secluded getaway for people who require intermittent breaks from the grind of life in the fast lanes.
A comfortable ambiance begins with your choice of log cabin furniture. Roughing it can be quite fun. The mountains don’t have to dull your sense of style nor does the countryside have to diminish your taste. A stylish, cozy log cabin makes for a perfect home away from home. Indulge your passion for woodwork and metals by putting together a unique place that speaks your taste. You have a gamut of selections available for whatever theme you like for your cabin home.
Indoor Furnishings
Begin with a choice of excellent rustic furniture. A rustic log bed that matches the design of the log on your walls or floors could add a thoroughly rough and snug look to any bedroom. You can pick a beaver-cut log bed or one with square edges to match the logs on your home. Throw in an assortment of lodge-style tables and chairs that go well with metal decors. Carved woodwork for your choice of cabinets or drawers completes the classic look.
You also have plenty of options for living room furniture. Rustic sofas to match your rustic log bedroom theme are great for a homey air. You may also have a good old wicker chair around. It definitely complements your furniture theme and gives your room a timeless appeal.
Outdoor Furnishings
You have several outstanding options available for outdoor furnishings appending your country homes. Awning kits for one are an economical way to provide sun protection, or just a cool shade, to your deck or patio. You have plenty of color and size assortments. You can get either the detachable models or one that can be permanently attached. Waterwheels also make an excellent addition to your garden or entry way. The sound of falling water on an oiled woodwork puts in a timeless, peacefully ancient calm to the sounds of nature around you.
Achieving that warm and comfortable ambiance that reminds you of warm Christmas evening doesn’t have to be so difficult. Logs and the mountains or the country side go well together. The greenery makes for a wild, scenic backdrop that gives your log cabins and country homes its welcoming warmth from the outside. Enhancing that convivial atmosphere is an artistic mix of furniture and décor than could certainly glow with your personal touch.

Help answer the question about log cabin
What's a good dinner for 6 people in a log cabin?My husband and I are staying with a family of four (which includes two children under 6) for a fall cabin weekend. We are responsible for two dinners. The other wife is making chili then the leftovers will be used for spaghetti the next night. We thought foil packs with ground beef, onions, potatoes, and veggies would be a fun "camping" type meal.
We still have to think of one more meal. I want it to be something the kids will like too. Maybe hearty, comfort type foods or even casseroles. Any suggestions?

You’re really good man. You’ve got excellent talent.
Nice work, you did pretty good.
good luck man that sounds sweet.
Read this completely because I intend on building my own very nice log home very cheaply but you have to know how to do it.
It is according to where you live, the type of log home you want, if you are going to have it built, if you are going to use a kit, how big the logs are you will use, and if you are going to work on it yourself.
You can build a brick home for less than most log kits cost.
Most the kits out there cost between $100 and $150 for each 16 foot log.
I bidded on several homes when I was contracting but they all, every single one of them ended up building brick homes because of the cost.
I built my on sawmill so I van cut all logs, flooring and roofing timbers, flooring, roofing sheathing, studs, wood for doors, windows, kitchen cabinets, and even the trim.
You can buy a new sawmill for a few thousand dollars to do the same or if you can weld as I do, build one for less than a grand.
If you use quarry rock for the basement walls or foundation, as I intend on doing, and do the work to cut all your own materials, you can build it for less than $50,000.
You are talking about a home that is close to 2,200 square feet.
If you have it built and buy a kit, you are talking well over a quarter million dollars.
If you do it all yourself "and do good work" you can have over $200,000 equity in it when you move in but you will have to have perfect credit or scratch build it.
If you buy the right land at a good price, you may be able to get a second morgage on it to help pay to build the house. It should also have standing timber on it to use for the home.
Several of the sawmill manufactors sell them on credit also.
And you will need a planer / molder and can also get them financed.
Both of these pieces of equipment is something you can resell after you have finished the home to regroup much of the cost and is figured into the $50,000 stated above.
It's not a small undertaking but it is well worth it in the long run. Any body can learn to build a nice one if they try. They were building them hundreds of years ago with axes and hand saws.
The only thing holding me up is the right land. I want a creek so I can make my own electricity also.
If you have any more questions, e-mail me. I'll be glad to help.
No don't bother, Coke and Pepsi also contain huge quantities of corn syrup also and will work about as well.
Just make some trusses and put them on 2 foot apart . Lay some 1×4s across the trusses 18 inch's apart then lay some tin on the roof overlapping each other. Then use the special tin to cap off the roof. Dont use logs too much weight. Use plywood and framing. Build it on skids. So you can pull it with snow mobile.
Brilliant Willy, Just Brilliant =D

Nice… I think log cabin is perfect near the ocean. If you want some decor in it… you can try visit this site. http://www.kdloghomes.com/
Log cabins are beautiful and homey to live in. However, they are high-maintenance and expensive. Because they are built of organic materials, it is almost like they are alive.
To keep a log home in top condition, requires the wood logs to be treated and maintained regularly year after year so the wood doesn't dry out and rot. Sometimes the logs can warp and need to be repaired or replaced, which is expensive. Also, weather wears out the weatherproofing material between the logs, and it will also eventually need to be maintained and repaired continuously over time.
If you are up to the regular high maintenance (either by doing it yourself or by paying someone else to do it), then a log cabin is a wonderful type of building that is well worth the investment.
amazing! Willy teach me how to paint like you!

Perfect.
Very nice!!
I like the fact that answer number one is pretty OPEN in his statments. TO accurately define your prices/end costs, it seems to me (with all dur respect) you already have so much of what you need regarding resources, to get PRICES.
Without knowing at all,,,the "LAY OF THE LAND" I'd probably go with a "daylight" basement" AND honestly 2200 sq. ft. is hardly a CABIN. SIGH. I see and get in e mail Every day,,,BUILD TO SHELL…NC cabins for less that 100 K. I so want to assume you could double that to finish.
Another thing I might ask is WHY do you need a LOAN to finish? No offense to you certainly,,, OR the KIT provider, but you don't mention WHERE? IE: 35 miles East of Ashville? Etc,,, OR if you already OWN the land? IF you happened to own the land,,, the loan could be negotiated with it as collateral.
Once more, and with all due respect…FINISH might be relative, as it FITS some liveable plan you have, and could easily take 18 to 24 months?
Finally, and I hope I haven't offended you. ANYONE doing any work, and depending on zoning and code issues, better be ready to back up any liability "DADDY" or not.
No one here who answers can know your families commeitment, or a time frame for you

Depending how long the log is, I had one replaced last yr. It was 8 ft long and cost me $1200 to contract out. It took the contractor all day. Call in a few GCs and get three bids. That will give you a better idea. Yellow page it.
